The Burson amp on it's own, sounded much like my tube amp with better bass and more extended highs. I am researching battery power supplies and will try battery-power with this Burson also. I have found little information on the output devices and design in general. Since buying this amp, i have had some more experience with tube amps and battery power supplies. Tubes still give me the ultimate fidelity, and music that is both easy on the ears and true to the source. For the warm months of the year, the Burson on battery power just might do the trick. My tube gear generates about 150 watts, which heats up the house too much during hot season. The warm glow of tubes is just fine during the Winter though. Those of you that are willing to experiment, and have the skills would do well to try battery-power for all your electronics. Without all the AC radiating inside the enclosure, and doing away with pulsing DC in your power supply, can do wonders for the sound of your electronics gear. - Fred Kempkes Tue, 16 Mar 2010 03:36:02 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/integrated-amplifiers/776-cave-prize-burson-audio-pi-100-integrated-stereo-amplifier.html#comment-2712 I've been eyeing this product for some time now and after reading the glowing review by Dr. Groppi on the the integrated and Srajan's rave review on the Burson headphone amp, my appetite is whetted, and then some. It seems to be a step backwards to design and assemble something in an all discreet fashion, what with the labour intensive manner in building it, but the payoff seems to be in the end product: superlative sound. I, for one, would like to get my hands on this beautiful, minimalist integrated. - Tim Wed, 03 Feb 2010 01:53:22 +0100
